[IRCA] HAWAII-830

Thanks for the tips on Hawaiians! It used to be so easy just to
sit on 830.... wait until Mr. Sun killed WCCO about 90 minutes
before Dawn Enhancement and there was Hawaii... unless conditions
were totally awful. And then along came KNCO in Grass Valley,
California. The Albertan was never a problem, but that %#^%@^#% in
Grass Valley sure messed up one of my coastal joys!
I remain mystified as to why I seem to be the only one in the Puget
Sound area who gets a KIRO image on 830 (2x770=1540 - 710=830). CKKY
is occasionally able to override it; KNCO and WCCO have been heard
once. It is readable on all the units listed below plus the car
radio. I thought for sure when KIRO went off for maintenance last
year that they were going to fix this, but it didn't happen. I wrote
them after the maintenance period to try to find out what they
purportedly did fix but did not get an answer. I am very pleased that
they went off (I netted KFIA and LA) and hope they do it again some
time, at which time I will DX 830.
